    Weigh-in: ...hope you're sitting down... 112.2!

    :(( I'm UP 4 pounds since Friday (another group I'm in weighs on Fridays.) I *knew* this weigh-in wasn't going to be great, but that is ridiculous! My sodium was really bad (from restaurant meals) on Friday and Saturday, so I'm hoping that's the culprit. I surely didn't *actually* GAIN four pounds!

    Last week weigh in 203.0

    Today's week weigh in: 200.4

    Loss 2.6 lbs!!

    I am happy about that loss, but to be all honest, my weigh in last week on Monday, was probably like yours Pam, half of sodium weight!! Because on Friday before that I was 201 or something..

    Oh well a loss is a loss!!

    Sounds like everyone is doing well overall!! Keep up the great work!!! I am so happy to be a part of the group! And so glad, Kora, that you are doing better and hanging in there!

    I've had a crazy week with family sickness and my one year old not sleeping for more than a few hours at a time, but I pushed through some of the exhaustion! I actually had five hours of sleep in a row,, which seems like an eternity. I am feeling human again.

    Just saw the challenges, and I'm ready to go!! I really like the specfic challenges for each week, because it helps me focus on things I may otherwise overlook!

    GO BROWNIES!!

    Last week weigh in 201.4
    This week week in 202.0
    .6 Gain

    Sunday: Excercise - 30 minute bike ride

    I had two fish recipes but failed to upload the pics and post them to the site. :(

    My goal for this week is to meet the exercise and food challenge! Oh and also to maintain my calories for the ENTIRE week! I really want to get out of the 200's range.

    Oh, that *was* a good Monday!
    As for my trip, I like getting out of the house, but it wasn't for R&R...I was helping my son work an art festival...but it was nice - fairly easy work and the show was good.

    Just thought I might need to mention...for your cardio to count as one of your exercise sessions, it has to be at least 30 minutes; here's the quote from our organizer:
    "Exercise
    1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio or strength exercise sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best!

    sessions of jogging, fast walking, cross-trainer or treadmill,Zumba, Aerobics, Dance, DVD , Gym etc.
    (moderate cleaning doesn't count ;) !!! )

    1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed to do at least 4 sessions!!!


    2. Try something new or something you didn't do for a while - independent exercise of your choice for 30 min session at least!!! I know its getting harder to come up with something new :-)) ... so don't worry too much it can be anything interesting unusual - special you would like to share :-)) "

    Basically rest day Tuesday... just got some meds for my Sinus Infection so hoping they kick in soon!!

    Planning on trying Tai Chi today (something new), taking a walk (maybe), and doing my bicycle crunches and squats.(definitely).

    I have a breakfast idea in mind, but have to decide if I will have more time to make it tomorrow or today. I always eat breakfast though, so this part of the challenge is a piece of a cake ( not that I'd eat cake for breakfast, just saying..):)

    Denise, I can't stand the thought of eating veggies at breakfast, but your recipe post LOOKED BEAUTIFUL!!! Good job!
    I'm going to end up posting my 'go-to' breakfast, which is NOT gonna be pretty, but tastes GREAT and is super-healthy...oh well!

    I wanted to apologize to you all for not being more talkative on here...I have TOO much going on right now, most of it involving preparation for a class that I'm teaching next week at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. So, all through next week is going to be rough for me too, but after that, I am looking forward to being more active on here. I am anxious not only to put my own personal focus where it needs to be, but also to be more supportive for you guys!
    Anyway, I just wanted you all to know that I am looking forward to getting this class behind me so that I can get back to doing what I need to do...and helping you to do the same! I want us to be a good strong team, and I am sorry that I've been kinda slack...
